It appears that Blue Tongue/EHD is now affecting cattle in Europe and is no longer limited to sheep and goats. I wonder how long it will be before it affects cows here in the States.

edit- couldn't get the url tags to work, you will have to copy and paste sorry!

Not totally different, but what I have neard EHD does not kill cattle, but blue tonque will..

They are both hemoragging diseases.

I always thought they was one and the same but apparently there is some minute differences. Sorry for the confusion.
